A half-day, in-company course on the safe isolation of plant and machinery: how to lock off, tag out, prove the isolation and return equipment to service safely.
Lockout tagout, or LOTO, is the safe isolation of plant and machinery so it cannot be started or release stored energy while someone is working on it. This course teaches how to plan, install and prove an isolation, and how to return equipment to service safely. KeyOstas delivers it as a half-day in-company course.
It is for the people who isolate plant and machinery to work on it.
By the end of the half day, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Identify the need for a reliable lock-off system and why it matters.
Assess and select the right isolation scheme for the equipment.
Plan and prepare an isolation before any work begins.
Recognise the lock-off points for most common situations.
Install the isolation, including draining, venting, purging and flushing where needed.
Test the isolation to confirm the equipment is safe to work on.
Check that a service is isolated before commencing work.
Understand the methods required for safe reinstatement and return to service.
A focused half day on a complete, repeatable isolation method.
Practical and discussion-led, with no written exam.
A KeyOstas tutor delivers the session at your premises, for up to 16 delegates per course.
Understanding is built and checked through practical work and discussion rather than an exam.
Every delegate receives a KeyOstas certificate of attendance on completion.
